On October 29, Alipay confirmed that Alipay payment has been opened in JD Mall, and some users have successfully completed the payment.
This is another cooperation between Alipay and JD after 13 years.
It is reported that in August 2011, when JD and Alipay announced the expiration of their cooperation, Liu Qiangdong, the chairman of JD's board of directors, said that the cessation of cooperation had nothing to do with the competition between JD and Taobao, but that Alipay's rate was too high. "Every year, we have to pay an extra 5 to 6 million yuan because of Alipay's rate." At that time, Liu Qiangdong also said frankly that about 80% of JD's logistics were paid on arrival, and a small number of online payments could be completed using UnionPay. Stopping cooperation with Alipay would not have an impact.
Recently, the interconnection progress of Alibaba, Tencent, JD and other Internet giants has continued to advance.
On September 27, the official microblog of Taobao said that Taobao has supported Alipay, WeChat payment and other payment methods, and you can experience it by updating the APP to the latest version.
On October 16th, JD Logistics announced a cooperation agreement with Taotian Group. JD Logistics will fully integrate into the Taobao Tmall platform, and platform merchants will be able to choose JD Logistics as their service provider. JD.com stated that the docking system between the two parties has been basically completed, and consumers can also check JD's logistics trajectory within the Taobao and Tmall apps.
After JD Logistics integrated into Taobao and Tmall, Cainiao also fully integrated into the JD platform on October 28th. Third party merchants who have joined the JD platform can choose Cainiao Express and Cainiao Large Item Service. Currently, the two parties have basically completed the docking. Before joining third-party merchants on JD.com, Cainiao's business was mainly placed within the Alibaba system, including Tmall Supermarket, Tmall Global, Hema, AliExpress, etc.
